Easy muffin recipes

[MummyPig24]

I'm looking for some yummy and easy muffin recipes that are on the healthier side for my children to enjoy as after school snacks. A lot of muffin recipes include buttermilk which I don't seem to be able to find locally, probably could in the big Tesco though.

You can make your own buttermilk. It is just normal milk with a tiny bit of lemon juice in it left to stand for 15 mins.

I make savory muffins for my DC. Cheese & onion, ham and cheese, vegetable, courgette, mushroom, peppers, etc.

They are all very simple recipes and freeze well. I usually just google and adjust according to taste. I do half wholewheat and half white flour as well.

I make these banana ones using a third oats and natural yogurt www.toddler-recipes.co.uk/banana-breakfast-buns.html
Also these pear ones www.toddler-recipes.co.uk/pear-and-sultana-muffins.html

With healthier baking you need to make sure that the muffins are completely cool before removing from the case otherwise loads of the mix sticks to it.

These Annabel Karmel muffins are lovely and healthy. I think I put less sugar in and they were still good.

I've just been inspired to make carrot muffins you need to scroll down. I had some creme fraiche that needed using up, so although the recipe calls for yogurt I've added I've used half creme fraiche. Will let you know how they turn out in about 15 minutes!

Usually if a recipe calls for buttermilk I use natural yogurt thinned down a bit with milk. We make our own yogurt, so we always have some in.

Well, they look like muffins and smell like muffins. When dd gets up (!) I'll tell you if they taste like muffins!
